   Wow, thanks. How did everyone's test go? Anyone else that took theirs recently wanna add some advice to this to help out our future fellow nurses?

2. Need help choosing a Book. Please Help :)

   Jonesie_Mac replied to kahlishelton4's topic in General Students

   Amazon.com: NCLEX-RN Strategies, Practice, and Review, 2013-2014 (9781609788919): Barbara J. Irwin, Judith A. Burckhardt: Books Have you tried a Kaplan book? This helped me immensely with not only tests, but the way I think in clinicals. It has rea...

3. Stupid classmate tricks

   Jonesie_Mac replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

   Another favorite nursing student caricature is the one who decides that s/he needs to co-teach. In my skills lab, we have a girl who paraphrases everything the teacher says right after she says it. She's not doing it to check for her own understand...

4. Stupid classmate tricks

   Jonesie_Mac replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

   I have one of these in every class! There has got to be some sort of underlying thought process that causes people to go off on a tangent about themselves/family/loosely related story during class! Tell me if you ever figure it out! haha.

5. Stupid classmate tricks

   Jonesie_Mac replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

   We have a girl that nods her approval or shakes her head disapprovingly at everything the teacher says throughout the entire lecture. It is so distracting that no one wants to sit behind her! It's so funny to watch her endorse the lecture. We have...

6. Okay I need advice!...badly

   Jonesie_Mac replied to aromano1's topic in General Students

   We have lots of LPNs in our program that didn't go for their NCLEX and enrolled directly into RN school. No one was questioned, especially if they graduated with honors. And, guess what? Pharm is a coreq. So, enrolling in a (good) RN school seems...

7. Venting, majority of class did poorly on test

   Jonesie_Mac replied to nobodywarnedme's topic in General Students

   I really hope you pass! You've come this far! Only a few more days til graduation! The seniors at my SUNY school are having this problem with a very condescending teacher that just started teaching. She doesn't respond well to questions at all. ...

8. Failed a course and now have to do an extra year!!

   Jonesie_Mac replied to m1sswow's topic in General Students

   My friend and I discussed what we would do if we failed nursing and had to wait a year. We decided that we would get ahead on our coreq classes and start some of the classes for our graduate degree if we ran out. Or, maybe, just do nursing part-tim...

9. How much of your cohort did you "lose"?

   Jonesie_Mac replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

   I was extremely surprised when I heard that our class that had started with 129 had dropped to 85 after the first semester. In our school, people don't have the option of withdrawing and getting delayed a semester. If they fail, they have to reappl...

10. How many are living off student loans in school?

    Jonesie_Mac replied to merlinsbeard's topic in General Students

    I am currently living off of student loans. I have one more year of school left and I am hoping to get enough scholarships for a full ride. Otherwise, between my spouse and I, we are looking at 60k of loans upon graduation. It's incredibly stressf...

11. If YOU can help...I'm looking for Anatomy help

    Jonesie_Mac replied to Losa's topic in General Students

    I'm an auditory learner and a commuter. I really loved studying the body parts out loud in a study group, but when I couldn't do that, I found videos of instructors going over the models I would get tested on. I would watch it all the way through, ...

12. Suny Canton

    Jonesie_Mac replied to goldbla19's topic in New York

    The nursing program at Suny Canton has moved to accepting 90 applicants. Some are accepted spring semester while a few slots are left open for people to be accepted after spring semester. These people are typically notified during the summer. It i...

13. Halfway Point

    Jonesie_Mac replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    Midterm grades came out today and I have a 4.0! I still have a long way to go, though!

14. How are the people making A's or B's studying?

    Jonesie_Mac replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    I registered my text book online and it gave me access to NCLEX questions and material that wasn't in the book. So, I usually do all the NCLEX in the book, then do all of the NCLEX online. I always read all of the rationals and look up any answer I ...
